As a former dealer and card room manager I 100% agree with you Akashenk, these tournaments are very inefficient and can even lose money. However as a player, the running costs and logistics of running these tournaments are no longer my problem
One thing that obviously works in a casinos (not cardrooms) favour running tournaments like this at a loss, they are getting people through their doors where they will be eating, drinking, gambling and maybe even staying at the hotel.
I couldn't tell you how many times Ive watched poker players feed hundreds of dollars into slot machines while waiting for a tournament to restart after a break and of course once players bust out the cash tables fill up and the room can start filling its cash boxes with rake.
